on the same thread as the dummy wallet, i did read of some overlanders getting a built in secure lock box, then got a cash tin and a bike lock and stashed some randome notes old credit cards and expired pass ports,

i've also been told that (but not managed it myself yet) that there are two catches on the puma gear stick, you press in both sides through the rubber boot and the gear leaver comes loose and so stops gears being changed, when i manage it i'll post some pics.

This sounds interesting

taking the gear stick off isn't worth doing as the remaining section is long enough to change gear with no problem,

plus if you want to try it, please don't pull the stick through the rubber gatter, its a b**ch to pull back over!

A friend of mine also declared his passport stolen, then got a new one from passport office. That way he has what looked like a genuine passport ( ie no corner cut off and expired one). If held up, he could give the old "stolen" passport to the thief.

Most criminals in these places are fully aware of safes and lock boxes overlanders fit, so it may be worth the old double bluff. Hide your valuables somewhere and place a few quid and old credit cards in the safe.
